I am one year older than Chongzhen

Chapter 237
Now the gunners have a hard fortress to defend, and there are [-] musketeers and [-] heavy infantry to assist in the defense.

If you want to attack a stronghold with fourteen cannons, and you are attacking a cannon that fires a hundred cannonballs, a cavalry raid is useless.

You can only make chariots, rush chariots, etc., organize troops to dismount, hold leather shields, and carry iron shields to fight on foot and slowly consume them.

It is absolutely impossible for cavalry raids to bring any heavy equipment, so Huang Yi is not worried about his camp being raided, so he can boldly raid the enemy with confidence.

Jaisalmu reached a consensus with Subdi, Selen, Wandan Weizheng, etc., and made preparations to attack the Xuanda and Ujumqin coalition forces that drove straight in.

Their preset battlefield was thirty miles away from the winter camp in Subudi.

Who knew that they had waited until the flowers all withered, but the Xuanda Allied Forces appeared for a long time.

What the hell is going on here?

After waiting for three days, Jaisalmu, who expected the enemy to arrive earlier, was furious, and asked Subudi what to eat?
Why is nothing known about the actions of the enemy army?
Subudi was also extremely annoyed. He sent many sentries, but those who came within ten miles of the Xuanda Allied Forces could not come back.

The sentries who came back only saw the Xuanda coalition forces rounding up the other sentries from a distance and ran back quickly. Even so, half of them were intercepted and killed by them.

Before the official start of the war, Subudi's main force lost more than 100 people. Of course, he was so angry that he scolded his mother.

It would be impossible not to figure out the location and number of the enemy troops. There is no good way, but to adopt the stupid method of increasing the number of sentries.

Huang Yi likes to kill chickens with a sledgehammer. People fight scout battles for small troubles, but he used the main force to take advantage.

Often a dozen Harqin scouts were surrounded by hundreds of base cavalry regiments.

The result was very good. In the face of ten times or a hundred times the enemy, few of Harqin's scouts would rather die than surrender, and most of them got off their horses and knelt down to beg for surrender.

Facing the fleeing Tartars in a hurry, the cavalry in the base area all fought bravely to be the first, hoping to capture the captives with their own hands and be recorded as a great achievement.

Huang Yi has never felt that bullying more and winning less is unwarranted. He often warns Zhi, Yong, Shuang, Quan, Zhang Dong, Hu Xiaochuan, etc. that they would rather be a lion against a rabbit.

The purpose is to make the soldiers and horses move. Instead of monotonous training, why not have a dozen real enemy cavalry for hundreds of soldiers to chase?
Yes!How good is actual combat training?Anyone who dares to slack off may die!

First practice with more to win less, and practice excellent tactics and combat skills, and you will be able to win more with less.

The key is to fight a war of annihilation with more victories than less, which is more conducive to boosting the self-confidence of recruits, making them feel bloody, and arousing their bloodiness.

The enemy is not stupid. Of course, they have to make changes when they find that the scout horses and sentry cavalry can't come back.

When Huang Yi, Bi Daxi, Hu Xiaochuan, etc. used binoculars to observe that the Karakin people also dispatched thousands of cavalry, they resolutely gave up shielding the battlefield in order to avoid large-scale encounters.

Deliberately let the enemy approach until they discover the completed camp.

hey-hey!My coming to fight you does not mean I have to storm your camp and fight on the battlefield where you are assembled.

Why can't I make you uncomfortable and have to attack my camp.

Is it a decisive battle, where are you going to fight?It depends on Huang Yi's mood.

Anyway, it was impossible for Huang Yi to turn the encounter into a decisive battle. It was too uncontrollable and not his usual style. The decisive battle could only happen at the time and place he set.

Huang Yi, who was ready, was not afraid of the camp being breached, so he was at ease, and gathered all the cavalry to go east and go north to attack continuously. Every day, the Karaqin tribe suffered.

There are four thousand cavalry, more than half of which are armored cavalry. All the troops that Karaqin and Jiannu can gather can't form an encirclement. Of course, they can go and stay freely.

Facing the coalition forces of Xuanda and Ujumqin, Jaisalmu, Subudi, etc. who are not rushing forward for a decisive battle, but are constantly devouring small and medium-sized tribes, they are as big as a bucket.

They didn't dare to divide their troops, and when they finally found the enemy's camp, they had no choice but to attack with the whole army, planning to attack and save them. If the enemy didn't save them, they would directly break the enemy's camp.

The Taijis in Harqin all felt strange, why Xuan Dajun suddenly became so powerful, it looked much more vicious than the mighty Guan Ning cavalry.

Why did Ujimqin Hedan Bateer have more than 2000 cavalry?With this strength, why do you want to be someone else's servant army?
This is the information asymmetry. Karaqin and Jiannu knew nothing about the base area, and Huang Yi has been planning to wipe out Karaqin. He not only collects information, but also often interrogates the captives himself.

In the war room of the base area, there is a sand table of the entire Bashang prairie. The mountains, rivers, highlands, basins, population distribution, and traditional sites of various tribes are all marked.

I fought scouting battles many times, and the base cavalry captured the enemy's cavalry, and never left or lost a robe.

Therefore, the enemy army did not capture any prisoners, and could not learn the specific situation of the base area through interrogation.

In fact, the cavalry of the Mongolian tribes outside the base area did not know the strength of the base area, they just felt very strong.

Only soldiers who are soldiers can provide valuable information, but it is not easy to capture the soldiers under Huang Yi's command alive?
The plan for a year lies in spring, which is so important. Huang Yi's thousands of people set up camp in the hinterland of the Karaqin Tartars, which of course made the 36 families of Karaqin feel like they were on their backs.

Oh no!There are no more than 36 tribes in Harqin today, and it should be at least half of the large and medium-sized tribes that rank among the 36 tribes that have disappeared.

No matter how many families are left, the Karaqin Tartars feel uncomfortable anyway, and their herdsmen will not be able to give birth with peace of mind unless the Xuanda and Ujumqin coalition forces are driven away.

The excessive fright caused by the stepping on the iron hoof not only made women in Harqin prone to dystocia, their milk was frightened back, ewes could not give birth to lambs, and cows could not give birth to calves.

So the Harqin Tartars rushed over, bringing with them all the young and middle-aged people who could be mobilized.

More than 1 Karaqin Slave Allied Forces approached, and the bloody mutual massacre was about to begin, but the camps in the base area were still in good order.

There are no rules, the camp is clean, the stoves and wells are well arranged, and more than 100 toilets have been dug.

It is very important to support war with war, so Huang Yi did not bring much food and grass when he led the soldiers and horses.

But after destroying more than [-] small and medium-sized tribes, the grain and cattle and sheep captured were enough to consume for at least five months, and they were not afraid of the enemy's siege at all.

What's more, the number of the enemy army is as high as 1, and the horses exceed [-]. What a waste of people eating horses and chewing!
If the battle cannot be resolved quickly, the grain, cattle and sheep in the hands of the huge losses of the Harqin Tartars will not be able to withstand consumption.

Under the circumstances that the enemy can't wait, or can't afford to wait, Huang Yi of course chooses to fight steadily without arrogance or impetuosity.
